Calling all Photoshoppers...

I am an idiot with computer programs so I wouldn't have a clue how to do it...

Dude... Don't you use AutoCAD?

Oh, and check to see if your scanner has a Descreening Filter. That usually does the trick with book and magazine scans...

Really
the only way to capture hand painted lettering is to follow it with a vector ptogram.  Modern typefonts are just too accurate and rigid to replace the artistry...


Work in progrees while I waited for a system backup...

It isn't my methodology,  it's what the desceen is for.

I do use autoCAD, but so far I don't see that Adobe is anything like it.  I could insert that photo into CAD and trace it then fill with solid hatch, but each letter would need to been drawn out separately. I though it would be quicker to alter the photo.

I'm learning.

My scanner setting are minimal and now that I have Vista it's a big run around just to make a scan. I just use the Camera and Scanner Wizard. I did have a much nicer scanner, but the last computer didn't have a serial port so I had to toss it.

Tivo, That sign looks great!

Open up Photoshop, go to File, select Import, and you should be able to access your flatbed scanner directly.

Amen to that!

I only said that because you said "I am an idiot with computer programs so I wouldn't have a clue how to do it...". Last time I checked, AutoCAD wasn't exactly an "idiot's" program...

Thanks guys!

I think one of these will work just fine. I'm printing them all out to see how they look, then I will print on matte photo paper.
